WWE Monday Night RAW - Netflix

WWE Monday Night RAW is World Wrestling Entertainment's (formerly
the WWF and the WWWF before that) premiere wrestling event and brand.
Since its launch in 1993, WWE Monday Night RAW continues to air live on
Monday nights. It is generally seen as the company's flagship program
due to its prolific history, high ratings, weekly live format, and
emphasis on pay-per-views. Monday Night RAW is high profile enough to
attract frequent visits from celebrities who usually serve as guest
hosts for a single live event. Since its first episode, the show has
been broadcast live or recorded from more than 197 different arenas in
165 cities and towns in seven different nations: including the United
States, Canada, the United Kingdom twice a year, Afghanistan for a

WWE Monday Night RAW - WCW Monday Nitro - Netflix

WCW Monday Nitro (or simply Nitro) is a professional wrestling
television program that was produced by World Championship Wrestling and
broadcast weekly every Monday night on TNT from September 4, 1995 to
March 26, 2001, when WCW's assets were purchased by the WWF. For its
entirety, the program went head-to-head with the World Wrestling
Federation's (WWF, now WWE) Monday Night Raw. Created by Eric Bischoff
and Ted Turner, the debut of Nitro began the Monday Night Wars, a
television ratings battle between the WWF and WCW that saw each company
resort to cutthroat tactics. Although comparable to Raw in popularity
from the beginning, Nitro began to dominate its rival in television
ratings, based largely on the strength of the New World Order (nWo), a
rebellious group of wrestlers that wanted to take over WCW. Beginning in
June 1996, Nitro beat Raw in the ratings for 83 consecutive weeks,
forcing WWF owner Vince McMahon to usher in the more adult-oriented
“Attitude Era”. As the nWo storyline grew stagnant, fan interest waned
and Raw began to close the ratings gap. In April 1998, a few weeks after
Stone Cold Steve Austin won his first WWF Championship, Raw beat Nitro
in the ratings for the first time in almost two years. The shows would
continue to trade ratings wins back and forth until November 1998, when
Raw pulled ahead of Nitro for good. Besides broadcasting from various
arenas and locations across the country (such as the Mall of America in
suburban Minneapolis, Minnesota, from which the very first episode was
broadcast), Nitro also did special broadcasts from the Disney-MGM
Studios in Orlando in 1996, and did annual Spring Break-Out episodes
from Panama City Beach, Florida starting in March 1997. The rights to
Nitro now belong to WWE. As of June 30, 2016, all episodes have been
made available for streaming on the WWE Network. WWE has also released
three Best of WCW Monday Nitro DVD sets.
